I am wondering if to much of your weight is being thrown forward onto the bars.
Use a set a more comfortable wheels and tyres. Deep section rims and some tyres can be harsh.

I got painful hands with my Spesh Allez but things improved dramatically after I fitted a Satori stem raiser. Not very pretty, but certainly effective and cheap. For a while I put a layer of 3mm closed cell foam around the upper bars, with tape on top, but it became a little uncomfortable to grip with mitts or gloves on. Someone suggested reducing the pressure in the front tyre as a remedy. I've often wondered why regular cyclists don't get Vibration White Finger!
